Talk:Neural parasite (23rd century)

I suggest renaming this page to "Denevan neural parasite". That seems to be the convention for naming these creatures. Alex Peckover 08:39, Aug 31, 2004 (CEST)

The problem is they aren't Denevan. Deneva was only the last stop in a pretty sizable array of planets infected over a long space of time. Same with the TNG neural parasites, we know neither monster's origin -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 15:37, 31 Aug 2004 (CEST)

I'd support using the timeframe as Alan suggests, even though it is still pretty suggestive to pin down these possibly long-traveled creatures. Another option would be to merge the pages back into suptopics of neural parasite. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 07:10, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

The Parasite is from a single cell organism, that is part of a larger organism. That is to long for a name, but I feel like the best name is somewhere in there. --TOSrules 07:20, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

As part of a modest rewrite I've had to remove a few statements. -- Capricorn 18:43, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
